The Hollies - Hollies Greatest (1968) (Vinyl)

Hollies' Greatest is the only number one album in the UK for the British band The Hollies.
It was released after Graham Nash's departure from the Hollies and was
intended to include all of their British hit singles with Nash. Only 3
of the 14 songs on the album -- "Stay", "I Can't Let Go" and "Stop!
Stop! Stop!" had previously been released on U.K. albums.
It spent seven weeks at the top of the chart in 1968. In total, it spent 27 weeks in the British LP chart, and is the most successful album by The Hollies.

The version of "Yes I Will" that appears on the mono version of this
album is not the 1965 hit single version, but an earlier and previously
unreleased recording from 1964 - the result of an administrative error
at EMI which was not noticed until after the album had been released. It
features a completely different guitar break with Tony Hicks. (Wikipedia)
